Company Press Release
July 19, 2000
MAHWAH, NJ -- Homewood Suites® by Hilton, the national chain of all-suite, residential-style hotels targeting
extended-stay travelers, has broken ground on the 108-suite Mahwah Homewood Suites by Hilton in New Jersey. When
construction is completed, the Mahwah property will be the ninth Homewood Suites by Hilton in the state. The franchised
property is owned by Mahwah Hotel, LLC in partnership with Dimension Development Corp. The facility is expected
to open in spring/summer 2001.
``The need for hotels that cater to guests staying five or more consecutive nights greatly exceeds the available
supply,'' said Sam Friedman, president of Dimension Development Corp. ``Our new facility is being created specifically
to meet the special needs of travelers who stay at a property for extended amounts of time. We will offer spacious,
residential-style suites with fully equipped kitchens and separate sleeping and living areas that are large enough
for work, study, entertaining or relaxing.
``Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels have a home-like atmosphere that appeals to business travelers who stay for
a few nights or a few weeks, as well as families vacationing with children and weekend travelers seeking a get-away
retreat.'' Guests enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet in the property's hospitality center--the ``Lodge,'' an
evening manager's reception Monday through Thursday with complimentary light meal and beverages, an executive business
center, exercise facilities and a convenience store.
Located at 375 Corporate Drive in Mahwah, N.J., the four-story hotel will be located near the newly built Datascope
corporate offices, Seiko Optics, UPS corporate offices and next to the soon-to-open Stryker Howmedica Oesteonics
headquarters/production facility. Hotel amenities will include an outdoor pool, on-demand videos, exercise room,
whirlpool, executive business center and 2,475 square feet of meeting space.
Launched in 1989, Homewood Suites hotels target guests staying five nights or more who prefer high-quality, residential-style,
all-suite lodging for a price comparable to a stay at a traditional hotel. Each suite has a fully equipped kitchen,
featuring a microwave oven, refrigerator with ice-maker and twin-burner stove with all the necessary pots, pans
and utensils. Additionally, suites contain two remote-controlled televisions, videocassette player, ceiling fans,
iron/ironing board, two telephones with data ports and free local calls.

every qualifying stay at any Homewood Suites by Hilton. HHonors is the only hotel program that allows its members
to reap Double Dip® earnings by simultaneously accumulating both airline miles and hotel points with each qualifying
